Lindsay Lohan gets much needed movie boost

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has been given a massive boost, as movie tycoon Harvey Weinstein praises her acting abilities.

Weinstein, who worked with the 'Mean Girls' actress on 'Bobby', believes Lindsay is "wonderful talent" and insists he would be happy to hire her after she leaves rehab.

When asked if her would hire Lindsay - who is currently staying at Utah's Cirque Lodge detox centre - again, Weinstein replied: "Of course. She's a wonderful actress. She did a great job in 'Bobby'. Lindsay is a wonderful talent.

"I just hope that Lindsay is fine. She's a good lady."

The producer also believes that 21-year-old Lindsay will grow out of her problems.

He added: "You know, we keep forgetting they're kids. They're making mistakes. Hopefully, they'll clean it up and somebody will kick their butts."

Last week, Lindsay admitted she is addicted to drugs and alcohol.
